This would also make a nice mailbox pole...if they didn't take so long to knit! Purchased on my trip to Webs last week where I had a nice conversation with Leslie Ann Bestor, who I first met at Webs several years ago and has written a terrific book. Anyway, it's a new pattern in the works but was removed from my person before the ends were even sewn in, never mind receiving a good block (the knitting, not the kid.) I'm telling you, Today's Tween: Loves me for my knitting one minute, the next minute is mortified that her math teacher asked me to run a knitting club with her at school. "Are you trying to RUIN my social life?"

When one loves fair isle it seems a waste to file away all of those swatches. Better to beautify the neighborhood and our ugly mailbox that Husband bought (without consultation) after the snow plowers knocked down are beautiful aqua one. If only I could figure out how to put the aqua one back up this would be perfect!

How can I not post this photo? New yarn, courtesy of LYDIA, drying all the way down in South Carolina, soon to be heading to Rhode Island for a new design! If I were a type/color of yarn, what would I be? Hmmmmm.
